YouTube officials Thursday announced that the video site will now feature pay-to-play channels, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship is in on the ground floor. The new UFC Select channel will feature access to full event replays, classic fights and full episodes of TV shows like “UFC Unleashed” and “The Ultimate Fighter.” The subscription costs $5.99 per month and the UFC is currently offering a 14-day free trial for the service, which is located at www.youtube.com/ufcselect. In addition to UFC Select, YouTube now features more than 50 subscription-based channels such as Pets TV, TNA Impact Wrestling, Rap Battle Network and National Geographic Kids. Subscriptions to the channels range from 99 cents to $7.99 per month.

That is until UFC pulls an MLB and starts blocking as much free stuff as they can.

There are still ways. I could download every UFC event (including the prelims) if I wanted. I dont want to go into it much because thats against the TOS but the UFC can block Youtube and Video links all they want. Wont stop people from finding the fights.

Yeah it is extremely easy to get previous events of the UFC.

Over all it is the direction Youtube in general it is going. Currently they have 54 channels on Youtube that are subscription based. Hell even Twitch have a subscription model.
